Don't know if anyone really needs to edit the config file ;).

I think a README that is displayed by the installer is nearly as
efficient. And when Joel finishes the new window system we make a proper
gui for configuring all aspects of the game.

Hm. I don't mind. It should be obvious that the option is unavailable as
it is unreachable, but if you feel more comfortable if it is completely
removed, then feel free.

You can't remove the console! (At least not before v1.0) I don't know
whether remapping the key will work though. The problem is that the text
entry grabs most key presses before they make it to the update method.
But again, feel free to try it :).
